Category Archives: bound and gagged

I first became interested in Bondage Pictures when I was very young. My earliest memories of Bondage Pictures included seeing Lois Lane tied up in Superman, and the helpless heroine in the Sunday Comics. Looking at them tied up and gagged was very exciting for me.

Then I discovered Detective Magazines in the local liquor store. To this day I still wander by magazine racks to see if I can catch a picture of the helpless heroine gagged and tied to a chair.

The late 60’s and the early 70’s brought magazines and movies to the adult bookstores that were dedicated to the bondage fetish. They were like finding needles in haystacks. I really wasn’t interested in general pornography. I wanted to only see beautiful women tightly bound and gagged.

It always excites me when I am watching a TV program and a lady ends up tightly bound and gagged. In the 70’s a number of movies came out with great bondage themes.

Theterm “damsel”, similar to French Mademoiselle – a completely archaic term, not used in contemporary English except for effect or in expressions such as this – testifies to its origin with the knight errant of Medieval songs and tales, who regarded the saving of such women an essential part of his raison d’etre.

Some claim the popularity of the damsel in distress is perhaps in large measure because her predicaments sometimes contain hints of BDSMfantasy

The helplessness of the damsel in distress, who can be portrayed as foolish and ineffectual to the point of naïvete, along with her need for others to rescue her, has made the stereotype the target of feminist criticism.But the critics miss the simple fact that it is FANTASY….. as was so clearly revealed in the classic “The Perils of Gwendoline”.The Perils of Gwendoline (aka The Perils of Gwendoline in the Land of the Yik Yak, aka Gwendoline ) is a french film named GWENDOLINE directed by Just Jaeckin with Tawny Kitaen (Gwendoline) ,Brent Huff and Zabou. It was made in 1983. The story is simple : a young woman and her friend (beth) start a search to find her father who disappear in Orient and will find him with the help of an adventurer after some difficult sitiations in the city, the jungle, the desert and a lost city of women warriors. It was supposed to be an HOMMAGE to John Willie‘s Gwendoline adventures so it include some nudity and fetishism.For more images, pictures and movies visit

What is most discouraging are the prevailing social misconceptions concerning bondage, at least the benevolent, romantic type of bondage that we produce and enjoy.

For the unenlightened, what we represent and advocate really needs to be clarified. In that spirit, the following general explanation is at least a start.

It has never been nor will it ever be our purpose to depict women as mere subordinates to men. These pictures and
articles are not about that. The materials we produce are carefully and, we think, obviously designed for men and
women to whom bondage is an important mutual diversion, a recreational and benevolent experience, a fantasy with a
happy ending, a good-natured game in which everybody wins.

It is not our intention to offend or demean or abuse or exploit or disadvantage, be aggressive against, or cause even the slightest pain to our models, or to suggest that such is occurring to the ladies they are portraying. We do not characterize victims; we characterize lovers who are mutally exciting and pleasurable — the bondage can be for the sake of sexual teasing or foreplay; or the acting out of a benign rescue fantasy with slightly juvenile undertones; or just the sweet and secret simple sharing of a very special physical intimacy between caring persons. Whichever of these it is, we have characterized it on our pages as “Love Bondage”.

While we cannot police the motives and psyches of our customers, we can and do shape our materials for completely
benevolent natures only — either the adult who was imprinted during adolescence by the thrilling and heroic
adventure story rescue of a bound and gagged and ultimately loving female, or the male or female adult whose basic
nature identifies with the female in bondage and craves to personally experience those same offbeat sensations for
either deeply psychological reasons, or, to state this in the simplest possible terms, because it actually feels good, safe and comforting even. He or she is wrapped tightly and snugly, there is a feeling of being protected, and the rope becomes a surrogate for the protective lover’s arms. It is to please and satisfy those two natures, and they alone, that we create these visual fantasies.

Conversely, those persons in search of darker, less pleasant bondage themes must look elsewhere, for there is
really nothing for them here. Our materials are just not for people who enjoy scenes of human mistreatment. If such
people do show up on our mailing lists from time to time, they certainly have no reason to linger, since what they
are seeking is probably the exact spiritual opposite of what we have to offer.

Good drama does not exist without conflict, and there will necessarily be the blending of bondage with actual
danger in some of the text fiction that we publish. But these situations will be so obviously farfetched or tongue
-in-cheek that they are clearly not to be taken any more seriously than a comparable paperback tale or television
episode containing the same elements. But in all of the photos that we present, be they from contributors or our
own associates, the woman is there willingly, even gladly, and for her own reasons. Were she not, we would not
publish the picture.

Therefore, the bondage that is dramatized here is an essentially gentle act used by lovers to intensify their
physical and spiritual closeness. She gets to belong utterly to someone she loves, and to be adored for what he
perceives as the prettiness of her dependency on him. She has surrendered for him that part of her independence she
doesn’t want. They are fortune-blessed soulmates, theirs is completely a mutual act of trust, love, appreciation of
themselves and each other. And the readers who look on perceive her bondage as physically and spiritually pleasing
to her — she knows that it has more to do with being wanted than abused. Were that not the case, we would
ourselves be offended.

Our bondage has absolutely nothing to do with demeaning anyone. It is totally and utterly a bilateral activity,
and, were it not, we wouldn’t have anything to do with it.
